Lazily decode SourceFile from metadata

Currently, source files from foreign crates are decoded up-front from metadata.
Spans from those crates were matched with the corresponding source using binary search among those files.

This PR changes the strategy by matching spans to files during encoding. This allows to decode source files on-demand, instead of up-front. The on-disk format for spans becomes: `<tag> <position from start of file> <length> <file index> <crate (if foreign file)>`.
